The Track-itTM Traceability pad functions as a printed circuit board (WIP) identifier in high volume electronic PCB manufacturing. Each pad contains a unique code number, supplied already laser etched onto its surface, in a 2D matrix format. The code number is easily read by commercially available optical scanners, such as Microscan EZ Quadrus (see www.microscan.com). In the course of the customer's PCB manufacturing process, the Track-itTM traceability pad is picked and placed alongside other components onto the application PCB and is solder reflowed. Each PCB thereby gains a unique identification allowing the traceability data of all other components contained on the populated PCB to be logged against the unique traceability code number. Further on in the manufacturing process, the PCB identifier can be incorporated into the identification of the final assembled device. Features
Nickel Silver material Unique code number for each Pad 2D matrix code is open standard
